line at the location selected. Turn the
handle on the top of the saddle valve to

needle in this position until the
humidifier is fully installed to prevent

the line that will leak as soon as the
needle is backed out). See Fig. 8. If
tapping into galvanized pipe, drain the
line and pre-drill 3/16 in. tap for the
saddle valve.
